When I go to "help", "about Firefox", it shows that I am running version 50.0. when I click "check for updates", it returns "update to 50.0.2". Clicking that shows that it is downloading that version. When the download it complete, I click "restart Firefox to install update". Firefox closes and restarts, but checking "about firefox" shows that I am still running 50.0. I can click "check for updates" again and it shows that 50.0.2 is available for download.

I am running windows 7 64bit.

I got the update to work. I re-started in safe mode, then tried the update. It did go to 50.0.2. I am back in normal mode now and it shows that i am running the newest version.
